Free webhosting... BAH!

You know when something seems to be too good to be true, it probably isn&#039;t true. Well... I&#039;ve noticed when it is true, it&#039;ll go belly up at some point. :&#039;(

I&#039;m talking about webhosting. If it&#039;s 100% ad-free, lets you use your own domain, has a generous amount of bandwidth, etc etc and is free, you know something just doesn&#039;t sum up. And the something is money. And when the web host runs out of this particular something, it&#039;ll say bye-bye, go belly up, and send your website into the cyberheaven.

Well, anyone know of a free webhost that lets you use your own domain (that is NOT registered through them) and has at least 2 G bandwidth per month? I&#039;ll even accept some sort of ads, too... And if I&#039;m asking too much, I&#039;ll do with 1 G... the 2 G won&#039;t be needed before all the lost visitors come back. *sigh*

I&#039;d even pay for a cheap host, but all the Finnish hosts are expensive, and if the host isn&#039;t Finnish, I won&#039;t be able to pay them since I don&#039;t have a credit card. Or can you pay with some other method?

You should have asked me a month ago, I would have directed you to 1and1.com, but it&#039;s too late now. They were offering a promotional 3 years free setup with 5GB/month and several hundred mb, on linux servers.. Not sure where the free is now though.

[/quote]That was only for the US. They&#039;ve been in operation in the EU for some time and the promotion didn&#039;t apply.
